NetSurf V1.7 for 68K
« on: April 27, 2010, 07:27:43 AM »
Has anyone downloaded and tried it yet? Looks to be faster than previous version.

Well done Artur!

Its slower than iBrowse but they are not doing the same thing and its still being actively developed so it'll hopefully get quicker with each new version. Its faster than 1.6 though.

Maybe if we were to establish a bounty for it we could encourage the development of a MUI version, which would be quicker.

Artur has put a ot of eefort into developing netSurf for M68K over the last year or so (going by the release dates from v0.7 to the current). I'm sure he will contiue to develop it but if we could encourage other developers to help out say with a MUI front end with a bounty we may move quicker to a version of NetSurrf for M68K that appeals to a broader range of users than currently.

Looking at download stats on Aminet there were 355 dowloands of netSurf M68K in April this year and there have been 5769 downloads in total, so I think therer is usfficient community interest to see it continue to develop and possibly to support a bounty.

I've never set up a bounty before but I am more than willing to contribute and help out to set one up.
